Chapter 305: World News Conference Announced—Uchiha Yi's Death!
Humans are visual creatures—when they see something beautiful, they instinctively hesitate to destroy it unless absolutely necessary.
After examining Perona for a while, Nojiko decided she was decent-looking and interesting enough to keep alive. Moreover, her unique Devil Fruit ability piqued Nojiko's interest.
After some thought, Nojiko decided not to add her to the kill list.
"Golden Lion, sink everything here to the bottom of the sea!"
After killing everyone, they needed to destroy the evidence to avoid leaving any clues. Following her cautious principle, Nojiko ordered the Golden Lion clone to use his ability to bury the scene under the sea.
"Understood!"
With a simple touch of the ground, the Golden Lion clone activated his power. Suddenly, the entire land area of the Devil's Triangle fragmented into pieces and sank into the sea.
Amidst the pile of corpses, a skeletal figure remained—Brook. Due to his Yomi Yomi no Mi (Revive-Revive Fruit), he had survived as a skeleton, making Nojiko's crew overlook his presence.
As a result, Brook was the only survivor besides the spared Perona. Thinking he had escaped danger, he soon realized he was about to sink to the bottom of the ocean.
Although panicked, he dared not make a sound. If he did, he knew he would be crushed to pieces, and that time there would be no coming back.
However, he wasn't too worried about drowning. Being a skeleton, he didn't need to breathe or eat.
Only leaving behind a small floating platform under their feet, the crew returned to their ship high in the sky. With that, the notorious Warlord Gekko Moria was eliminated without a trace.
The crew left as quickly as they came, and the Devil's Triangle remained engulfed in perpetual mist, concealing the events that had transpired.
In recent days, the biggest news worldwide remained Uchiha Yi's destruction of Judicial Island and his open challenge to the World Government. The news continued to spread, refusing to die down.
Having witnessed Uchiha Yi's god-like power, Morgans had become his biggest fan. He was constantly praising and glorifying Uchiha Yi as if he were a divine figure.
Many of his peers and those familiar with him scorned his shameless behavior, calling him a sycophant.
Everything seemed normal—until today. The World Government suddenly announced a global news conference, inviting numerous news organizations to attend.
This move stunned the world, and people began speculating that it had something to do with Uchiha Yi. After all, it would be strange for the World Government to stay silent after being so openly challenged.
As the president of the World News Organization, Morgans naturally received an invitation. However, being cautious, he did not attend personally, fearing the World Government's retaliation. Instead, he sent a junior reporter to gather information.
He sensed that this would be big news.
After returning to the ship, Nojiko and the others did not immediately set sail. The AI agents stationed on the ship reported the latest global news.
The most significant news was the World Government's global conference, held live and open to the public. The location was Marineford, the Marine Headquarters.
Nojiko and her crew immediately understood that the World Government was preparing to announce Uchiha Yi's death.
"Robin, it seems you were right!"
Hearing the news, Nojiko's expression grew heavy.
"Even if we use Bon Clay's Clone-Clone Fruit to delay the news… it won't last long."
"We must act quickly!"
Robin expressed her anxiety, understanding the gravity of the situation.
"You're right. Let's first see what the World Government plans to announce."
Nojiko responded, knowing that rash actions would only make things worse.
Although Lucci, Enel, and the others were unaware of Uchiha Yi's situation, they could sense something was off from the women's conversation. However, they chose to stay silent and not interfere.
As the live broadcast began, the camera showed a crescent bay scene, then zoomed in to reveal Marineford's grand plaza. There, people saw the Fleet Admiral Sengoku, the Admirals, and countless Vice Admirals and Rear Admirals, as well as over a dozen CP0 agents wearing masks.
The imposing lineup created a sense of shock and awe.
Seeing such a grand display, viewers couldn't help but wonder if they were planning to fight Uchiha Yi. But given Uchiha Yi's gigantic 500,000-meter form, could they really stand a chance?
Amidst the audience's curiosity and doubt, Fleet Admiral Sengoku began to speak.
"Welcome, everyone, to today's global news conference. I'll get straight to the point."
"Recently, Judicial Island was destroyed by the evil pirate Uchiha Yi, an event that shocked the entire world."
"In response, the World Government has taken this matter with utmost seriousness."
"To prevent such heinous acts from repeating, we immediately launched a purge operation against the evil pirate Uchiha Yi."
"The result is clear! The primary offender, Uchiha Yi, has been executed!"
"As for the remnants of the Nameless Pirate Group, we will issue updated bounties soon!"
"The purpose of this news conference is to warn those who dare to trample on justice. Justice may be delayed, but it will never be absent!"
"No matter who you are—even if you are the Fifth Emperor Uchiha Yi—there are no exceptions!"
"Crossing the line of justice will never be tolerated!"
Sengoku's words were carefully prepared, but his heart was filled with uncertainty.
The entire declaration was based on the Five Elders' claims that Uchiha Yi was dead.
Yet, Sengoku couldn't shake the feeling that it was too risky to announce something so definitive without proof.
However, he reasoned that the Five Elders wouldn't dare fabricate such a colossal lie.
In all likelihood, the information they provided was reliable.
